Murano, Burano and Venice Boat Tour from Venice Train Station
Description
This full-day boat tour is perfect for those who reach Venice by car or by train: the embarkation point is very close to Venice train station. During the navigation, an expert tour guide will share with you anecdotes of Murano and Burano islands, while you'll enjoy a breathtaking view of Venice lagoon from the panoramic deck. The boat leaves from the train station area to reach St Mark’s bay, where it welcomes other guests and then leaves for Murano. In Murano, first stop of the tour, you have the chance to visit a glass factory and see master glassmakers at work. Burano, second stop, can be called ‘ the rainbow island’ thanks to its inhabitants’ unique houses. Here you have some free time to stroll among colourful streets and taste typical dishes and biscuits. Then, the boat takes you to Venice Riva degli Schiavoni, not far from St Mark’s Square. Here you will have 50 minutes at your disposal to visit St Mark’s Square, then a shuttle boat will take you back to Venice Train Station.

This was a terrible experience and we never got to tour. We booked the tour, showed up 30 minutes early, waited and other people booked for the same tour also showed up waiting. The boats came and when we approached them they sent us to another boat, then that boat sent us back to wait for the first boat, this happed for three boats and after 45 minutes of going from one boat to another we called Viator paying $5.99 per minute for an overseas call. I was told we would be refunded and now there is no refund. We ended up not getting the tour and we were not the only ones waiting. We even checked with the locals and a police officer that was nearby if we were in the right location and they confirmed.
Very nice stops on the islands including glass blown demonstration in Murano. All the boat staff are very attentive! Thank you so much!
Guided tour was acceptanle. We were not informed of a time change to 10:15. Our tour guide spoke in five languages which was fine but couldn’t hear or understand her most of the time. When we disembarked to get on a different ferry at San Marco she was the first on with most people on the first ferry wondering where we should go. Also very poor explanation as to what we would be doing until we got to each stop.
